have come against IL with low assist numbers and low PPP. M assists on 53% of baskets under Howard and ONLY 30% against IL. The Louisville game was the worst game and yesterday was 2nd worst.
Jordan Sperber, who fancies himself as a BBall strategist, shows why and what we can do differently to beat them. We tried a few things, but making the mid range shots is vital and we missed a lot.
The key against IL is that they drop the big on defense against the PNR and don't leave shooters. So we either need to be able to beat the defender to the basket OR make the open 12-18 footers that IL gives up. If/when that occurs, then they may start helping out and leave some open 3s.
The other thing that would be helpful is to get the defensive rebound and get out and run a bit.
